Sorry, I don't know how to reply to individual responses. First, I appreciate all the ideas. Roly is on the right track. As he said his hinge is way to big, but it is the right action. If I can figure...

I have had a small jewelry box for years and would like to make duplicates for my grandsons. The biggest issue is finding the hinges. First of all, I don't know what this hinge is called. It's basical...

Unfortunately, it's going to be a few days before any cutting actually takes place. A sizable chunk of my shop has been taken over by a make shift spray booth for a grandpa project. All my power tools...

Ok, here's my PALS adventure. Found some things that I had to address before I could get down to the actual adjusting...none of which was the fault of the product. As mentioned in the PALS literature...

I'm debating getting the PALS system to help align my mid-90's Craftsman table saw. Just wondering if anyone has experience using the system and what the pros and cons might be. Thanks. Ned

I recently had an "issue" with a Freud product. Just to be clear, the issue was entirely my fault! I emailed Freud customer service and received a prompt reply from Troy. Long story short, Troy went a...

Since I'm not at home to check my finishing books, I thought I'd throw this out for your thoughts in the mean time. I'm making a safety razor and brush stand out of walnut for my son. Obviously, it wi...

Post: RE: Stain

Thanks for the responses. They won't be hanging. They will go on a base and sit on the floor. Toys will go on baskets. I hadn't given much thought to a back, but I might add one....sounds like a good...

First of all I'm too deep into this to rethink my choice of melamine. Having said that, these are storage shelve/boxes that are, roughly, 79" long, 12" deep and 15" tall. Each unit is divided by into ...
